How to Make CD Wall Art – Step by Step (Tutorial)
Got a stack of old CDs collecting dust? Their iridescent surface is perfect for creating stunning, light-catching wall art. I made a large mosaic sunburst for my hallway, and it creates rainbows all over the walls when the sun hits it.
Let’s create a mosaic:
Prepare the CDs: Using strong scissors, cut the CDs into small, random pieces (squares, triangles). Wear safety glasses for this step as the plastic can snap.
Design Your Art: On a canvas or wooden board, sketch a simple design—a heart, a star, or an abstract pattern.
Glue the Pieces: Using a strong adhesive (E6000 works best), start gluing the CD shards onto your design, shiny side up. Place them close together like a mosaic, leaving small gaps.
Grout (Optional): For a professional finish, you can spread tile grout over the entire piece, wiping it off the shiny surfaces immediately to leave grout only in the gaps. This makes the design pop.
Hang it in a sunny spot and watch it sparkle! It’s a brilliant way to upcycle and create a truly original piece of art.
